Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6 - Dulcet Crush (Hatology)
Swiss mountain guide by day, trumpeter by calling, Manuel Mengis is a model of the new millennial musician. His highly personal jazz is a polyglot of influences, mixing in rock, funk, pop and even the occasional bit of pap. Gruppe 6, his working band, represents a similarly deep wellspring of musical resources. Saxophonists Reto Suhner and ...
Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6: Dulcet Crush
by Glenn Astarita
With his third group-led album for hatOLOGY, trumpeter Manuel Mengis projects multiple vistas within a progressive-jazz framework, spanning fusion, jazz-rock and experimental aspirations.

Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6: The Pond
by Chris May
Listening to Swiss trumpeter Manuel Mengis' cross-genre Gruppe 6 is to hear an intoxicating melange of musics, from bop and free-bop to skronk and groove, in which the spirit of bassist/bandleader Charles Mingus' jazz workshop lives again, recalibrated by geography and history. Mengis' music is less intense in its passions--less tortured and confrontational--than Mingus,' ...
